What about something like this:
1) install the shipped preset in a system location.
2) on first call of _get_preset_names(), the element checks for existence of a
user-defined presets file.
3) if none present, copy system presets to user location.
4) let the user mess with its presets. If he goes to the point that all presets
are delete, then the user-defined presets file becomes is empty (just a
header).
5) If a power-user knows what she is doing, and delete its own preset file
completely, then the system-wide defaults will be brought back as of 2)
6) For casual users, maybe provide a small utility (e.g. gst-preset-defaults
"element-name") that just does: delete the user defined preset file.
